  • Association between IL-1β Gene-511C/T Polymorphisms and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Risk: A Meta-Analysis

    ObjectiveTo investigate the association between IL-1β gene-511C/T polymorphisms and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsSuch databases as PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data were searched for the studies on the association between IL-1β gene-511C/T polymorphisms and the risk of COPD up to May 2014. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. ResultsA total of 10 case-control studies from 9 articles involving 1 171 cases and 1 268 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, no significant association was found between IL-1β gene-511C/T polymorphisms and the risk of COPD:TT+CT vs. CC:OR=1.06, 95%CI 0.66 to 1.70, P=0.82; TT vs. CT+CC:OR=0.87, 95%CI 0.60 to 1.26, P=0.32; TT vs. CC:OR=0.95, 95%CI 0.51 to 1.75, P=0.86; CT vs. CC:OR=1.10, 95%CI 0.71 to 1.70, P=0.15; T vs. C:OR=0.97, 95%CI=0.72 to 1.30, P=0.84. The results of subgroup analysis by ethnicity showed that, no significant association was found between IL-1β gene-511C/T polymorphisms and the risk of COPD among Caucasians and Asians. ConclusionIL-1β gene-511C/T polymorphisms might not contribute to the risk of COPD.

  • Association between Toll like receptor 2 Gene I/D Polymorphism and Cancer Risk: A Meta-analysis

    ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the association between Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancer. MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 7, 2015), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data to collect case-control studies about the association between TLR2 gene I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancer from inception to July 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 case-control studies involving 3 250 cancer patients and 4 332 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that significant association was found between TLR2 gene I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancer (DD+DI vs. Ⅱ:OR=1.60, 95%CI 1.13 to 2.27, P=0.009; DD vs. Ⅱ+DI:OR=1.73, 95%CI 1.13 to 2.66, P=0.01; DD vs. Ⅱ:OR=1.99, 95%CI 1.22 to 3.24, P=0.006; DI vs. Ⅱ:OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.09 to 2.11, P=0.01; D vs. I:OR=1.54, 95%CI 1.14 to 2.09, P=0.005). ConclusionTLR2 gene L/D polymorphism may be associated with cancer risk. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, the conclusion should be verified in further studies.
